When we hear the word psychopath, subconsciously, we tend to think about characters from movies such as Hannibal and American Psycho, amongst others. Of course, what these two movies share in common is that the main characters of those movies, who also happen to be the antagonists, are males. Whether we like to admit it or not, subconsciously, we’ve been conditioned to believe that psychopaths are mainly males. While the media has certainly played its role, some studies have placed the ratio of male to female psychopaths at 6:1, with some other studies placing the proportion as high as 10:1.
